Sick.

So I was sick this weekend. Like I was so nauseous that I couldn't eat anything sick. Like I almost fainted in (culinary) lab sick. Like my stomach hurt like someone was punching it sick. But I didn't throw up and I didn't cause any scenes. Instead I caught up on 16 hours of sleep in 24 hours. And now, as a result, I feel a million times better than before I got sick. So I guess all's well that end well.

Note to self: try to get more than 5 hours of sleep on average. It helps keep you calm, prevents you from drinking coffee, prevents you from having a nervous breakdown, and keeps you happy. 

Let's hope I remember this during the week.....

Cool thing:

This song called "Jhak Maar Ke" from Desi Boyz is my FAVORITE currently. It's SO good. If you like Hindi movie songs, this movie has a lot of good ones! The movie itself is alright (not the best), but the songs are really good! Plus John Abraham is really nice to look at haha

(Non) Regrets.

Hello everyone!

I hope this past week and weekend treated you well-I for one had a wonderful week (despite the piles of schoolwork that I had). Additionally, I am so very excited to be going back home next weekend: I can’t want to see all my family and (of course) one of my best friends Sonya.

These past few days have been part of a Hindu festival called ‘Navratri’ which is a festival that worships the Hindu goddess Durga. During these 9 days, people from the state of Gujarat: Gujaratis (such as myself) attend dances called Garba where everyone dances and has fun. You may recognize the dances which use ‘Dandiyas’--the sticks in this picture:

Two things about Garba:

1. I am SO excited to go home and go to the Garbas there because they were/are such a big part of my life: I have gone every year since I was an itty bitty kid.
2. There was a Garba here. At college. IT WAS SO FUN. I danced from 8:30 to 11:30 straight!

If any of you have a chance to go to a Garba, GO!

The reason for the name of this post is that I don't regret not doing all of the work I didn't do because this weekend was amazing :) In addition to going to Garba, I went to Ithaca's amazing apple fest (http://www.downtownithaca.com/events/view/27th-annual-downtown-ithaca-apple-harvest-festival.html)!!
I was also going to go to a Janelle Monae (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqmORiHNtN4&ob=av2e) concert tonight, but I think I should be a litttttleee bit responsible tonight and get some work done.

Since we are on the whole ‘Indian’ Theme, my interesting thing for today is the Bollywood movie Fashion. I have been watching it today (probably for the 4^th time) while doing homework (shhhhh!), and I highly recommend it. It is not a typical Bollywood movie, but it is great! I love the soundtrack, and there is a really great HD version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WMDI9m9Ck0) on youtube!
